December Holiday Events

Sipping And Strolling On Colfax

The Colfax-Mayfair Business Improvement District is working with area businesses to highlight the stretch of East Colfax just north of Park Hill as a destination for vintage shoppers. Mod Living, Antiques Etc. The Shop, Park Hill Treasures and The Local General all offer vintage, upcycling and antiques.

On Tuesday, Dec. 13, several of the Colfax businesses are planning a Sip & Stroll event. From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. The Shop (5728 E. Colfax),  Park Hill Treasures (6035 E. Colfax), and The Local General (1502 Kearney) will serve sparkling wine and other treats. All sell vintage and gift items, and all happen to be women-owned. There is no charge, unless of course, you pick up some goodies along the way.
